That’s also because the Brussels sprouts older generations grew up on and the ones they sell now are not the same thing. They are significantly less bitter than a few decades ago due to selective breeding.
The other big difference is that people actually know how to cook these days.
The brussel sprouts I got force-fed every Christmas as a child were boiled, slimy, plain and gross.
The Brussels I cook these days are cut in half, then tossed in olive oil with salt and black pepper, and oven baked to caramelise the insides and char the leaves a little for that yummy browning. Delicious!
It's no wonder people hate something when they never tried the good version of it.
How far back does that go? I can remember liking them as far back as the early 80s.
They started changing about 30 tears ago. https://www.iowafarmbureau.com/Article/Its-not-your-imagination-brussels-sprouts-do-taste-better-How-gene-editing-is-changing-how-we-grow-and-eat-food
I still liked them when they were more bitter, then!
I never had them back when I was a kid because my mother hated them so she never made them. The first time I had one was in my 20’s.
